Build a professional README.md with sections for description, install, usage, API, and license.
This tool assembles a README.md from details you enter about a project. It arranges your inputs - description, install steps, usage example, API notes, license - under fixed Markdown headings, with the project name as the document title, and returns plain Markdown text you can paste into a file named README.md at the repository root, where GitHub and similar hosts render it. The common surprise: it does not write copy. Each section is only as good as what you type, blank fields can leave empty headings, and raw Markdown you include passes through unedited.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Project name: csv-clean Description: A command-line tool that removes duplicate rows from CSV files. Install: pip install csv-clean Usage: csv-clean input.csv -o output.csv API: clean_rows(rows): returns rows with duplicate primary keys removed License: MIT
Expected output
# csv-clean A command-line tool that removes duplicate rows from CSV files. ## Install pip install csv-clean ## Usage csv-clean input.csv -o output.csv ## API clean_rows(rows): returns rows with duplicate primary keys removed ## License MIT
The generator places the project name as the H1 title and emits one section per field under the five headings named in its description, inserting each value verbatim in that order. The result is Markdown source text, so anything else you typed (spacing, line breaks, syntax) survives unchanged.
The generator keeps one document structure: the project name becomes the H1 title, and each input field maps to a section with a standard heading (Description, Install, Usage, API, License). Values are inserted verbatim under their headings in that fixed order. The output is the assembled Markdown text, ready to copy into a README.md file in the repository root.
Everything you type passes through unmodified: commands stay as written, and any Markdown syntax you include (code fences, links, lists) is preserved exactly. The tool does not render the styled page or convert the result to HTML - you receive only the raw Markdown source, which the hosting platform formats when the file is viewed.
You can leave any field blank, but the generated file may still contain that heading, now empty. For a presentable README, fill all five sections; if you genuinely have nothing for one, delete its heading after copying. The tool assembles whatever you give it and never flags gaps, so empty sections are yours to notice and fix.
No. The output is limited to the sections it generates: description, install, usage, API, and license. Badges and additional headings are common README extras that you add yourself by editing the returned text. Because the result is ordinary Markdown, extending it with new sections is straightforward.
